Yes finally I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 today! Woohoo! Now all I have to do is the next step towards my new career.
I need to do my On the Job Training (OJT) somewhere in another province and that's gonna be for 2 months. Oh my. Will I be able to do well I wonder. 😆 I haven't even finished the 2nd TESDA course yet. Lol.
Everything I'm doing to get into a different career is making me anxious at times because I'm new to this other industry. 😅 I just have to suck it up and keep moving. Changing careers is not always easy when it is way different than what we know. Truly life changing events does not happen when we stay in one place and do nothing. 💪
Maybe I will try this new profession just for a few yrs. 😂 I will enjoy the single life while I can. No sweat, no problems, no stress! 😆 Perhaps I can find a new country to live in soon, who knows huh? Libre lang mangarap. 😆 (It's free to dream.)
♦ Finally I Am Fully Vaccinated Against COVID-19!
I used to think I will never get a vaccine until I learned it's required in the new career I'm planning to enter. Oh well. That's why I only got fully vaxxed now. 😆
This morning I didn't use my bicycle like when I went for the 1st dose. I slept late again, around 3 am. Got up past 8 am today after my phone alarm woke me up. I even had a short dream about food before I heard the alarm. Lol. You can read it in noise if you haven't yet.
So I rode the tricycle to the vaccination area and got jabbed for the 2nd time. Voila! Got my vaccination card updated too!
This time I felt the needle go in. Ouch! The person who did it must have heavy hands. Had to press the area several times afterwards just so the pain would subside. Still I'm happy this necessary procedure is finally over and done!
Oh but the things I must do does not end here. I have to do more tomorrow.
♦ Things To Do!
First I need to submit some of the requirements for the OJT. This means tomorrow I have to get some of the required documents. And then once I have completed those I need to pay for the training. Haha. My gosh why do I have to pay for the experience? Ugh this industry is bleeding me dry. If I don't get a job after OJT I will have a lot to say on the matter. 😅
Next I need to have the new passport. I wonder when I will get it though. How can I go on a 2 month OJT in another province if I don't know when it will be delivered?
There was a passport delivery issue last month according to Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). So I sent an email earlier to get an update and tomorrow perhaps I will call too. Ah so many things to do huh?
♦ Signs of Aging Is Here Because I Lost Three of My Government IDs 😂
Ah having bad memory is super sad. You know I already lost 3 of my 4 government ID cards since the pandemic started? I don't even know why it's happening. 😂 I go to somewhere that needs my ID and then I don't know where I lose them. It takes a few days before I realize the card is missing. Tsk tsk.
I lost my UMID ID first, and then my TIN ID. The latest one is my PhilHealth ID. Oh my gosh the most important thing of all during this pandemic and I just lost it. 🤦♀️ I must have left it at Ma-Cho Temple. They gave me my eco bag but not my ID. Huh.
Unfortunately they are not replying via Facebook Page and nobody is answering the landline phone too. Can't confirm if they have it or not. Looks like I need to get a new one. 🙄
Blame this absentmindedness on my constant late nights or early morning sleeping habit. I dunno, my brain cells must have been reduced dramatically as the experts keep saying. I really need to stop sleeping so late but alas, we all keep doing some of the things we shouldn't do.
Anyway, the good thing is we already have a National ID system! Woohoo! Pretty soon I can just use one card for all government transactions. On Monday I will go to the center I booked an appointment with for the Step 2 in getting a National ID!
Actually I already registered back in May this year but that was during the pre-registration. Didn't know how to proceed to Step 2 once they announced we could already register for it. Had to call the hotline for help and voila! I was able to book an appointment for Step 2!
Some people just walk in to the National ID centers without an appointment though. I'd rather still have an appointment before I go there. Hopefully the ID will have a definite schedule of delivery.
Did you know, about 1.5 million Filipinos have already received their IDs? Are you one of them? 😁 If you are, how long did you wait after doing Step 2? For my other readers, do you also have a national ID in your country?
Apparently it takes 6 months after finishing Step 2 in order to receive the actual card. This means I can definitely go places while waiting for it. Hehe. Or I will just put a different delivery address to be sure someone can receive it for me.
♦ I Wanna Travel The World
Yes folks even with the pandemic in our midst I just want to get out of the country and live somewhere else for once. Of course I love my country but everyone else have been going places while I am growing old here.
Oh no, this is unacceptable. I want to see the beauty of the world you know. And I want to visit some mysterious and famous places. Hehe.
However someone told me that Sinovac isn't recognized worldwide. Huh? Haven't heard of that before, that's like vaccine discrimination!? 🤔 A quick online search showed me a list. Some countries do not accept individuals who had the vaccine I got. Uh oh. But then again I also read another article saying it is accepted in Europe and other countries. This means we should check where we are going first before we plan any trips.
I don't even know which country I will go to yet. I have to finish my OJT first! After that I will apply for a job. Once accepted, that's when I will check on the vaccine status of that country. Yes I'll take this one step at a time. It's all up to God where I will end up soon. Hehe.
Do you have a wild guess on where I will might end up? 🤔 Even I don't know where I will go. It depends on the salary so let's see. 😆
XOXO,
